Has anyone had difficulty keeping theirs off? Mine seems to come on with the slightest movement, despite being almost completely unscrewed.

Mine fell off (I lost the bulb portion) in the first week of carrying it in my pocket. It is very bright but it has such a ridiculous design flaw.

The light staying on has not been a problem for me, I did put a small piece of tape in the thread area so the bulb piece wouldn't fall off when thelight is off.

Yeah I have trouble too, its too smooth. Screws on too easily. I used some sandpaper and a vinegar dip to make it rust up a little. The rust makes it harder to turn so it won't come on accidentally.

I have purchased quite a few of these for gifts as well as one for myself, and I nor my friends have experienced them staying on.Perhaps the battery is not placed properly inside, or you have a defective one.

I wrap the threads with plumbing tape and that keeps it from twisting on or off.

My guess is you got a defective one. They are fairly inexpensive to begin with, so it wouldn't be a long shot if you ended up getting one that was malfunctioning the way you are describing. My advice is to just send it back to Amazon so they can replace it with another one. I know it's an inconvenience, but in the end, you'll be glad you did. It's a great light, especially when it works the way it's supposed to.

No problems here. Mine is attached to my keychain and only comes on when I turn it on.

I also wrapped the threads with a small amount of Teflon tape and could not be more pleased..

Hi.I have been using mine for a week now.The twisting mechanism to switch the light on and off if comfortably stiff. It stays off in my pockets. You may want to check if the rubber "O" rings are intact or have fallen off by mistake. I believe they might help in keeping the twisting mechanism comfortably tight.

Same problem here. Sorry to say we've had no luck getting the wheel(s) to stay on. Keep reattaching, but still no luck.

I have not figured that out yet. Same with me one came in place and I am afraid to try and remove it. Sorry

It took me one or two tries....undo it and set that side first and push down fairly hard. only when you feel it "click" (and it's subtle) should you move on to the other side. If this doesn't work, definitely let them know and get another one, since once I got my on, it has stayed on beautifully. I remember though that there was a moment or two when I thought one side might not snap, but it did.

I Jerry Rigged it as it was a bit cumbersome with the switch. I simply held the swith on and pushed a small wooden wedge under the switch so now it stays on!! Good luck.

I've had no problem just pulling the rubber tip off -- I've had to do it twice since the first inch wasn't enough. If it just won't come off, then I suggest you send it back for exchange, or money back.

That is very weird. I got mine adjust pretty good and have never come off. Make sure the black end cap and screws are down tight...hope it helps.

To fix mine I just had to smack it against my hand (without the brush head on) on all four sides a few times. I think something may have been pressed against the sensor and causing it to stay on.

Unfortunately, I believe you may have installed them improperly. Had mine on for quire a long while and haven't had any issues.

As long as you're moving, it stays on. If it goes off from inactivity, a small movement will get it back on. I haven't tested up to a minute, but from what I've seen I wouldn't expect a problem.

That is not normal. Mine stays tightly latched to the back while not in use. I can hear it "click" when I push it back in.

Curious... Does it just flicker on/off randomly? I ask because mine started doing that very recently. I thought I had a short somewhere but disconnected the output wire, and you could still hear the thing clicking on/off constantly on its own. So disappointed and haven't had it all that long.

I have never had a problem. Is it in a locked position by any chance? It may be defective because mine always worked. Sorry I am not of more help!

change the key position (I don't remember have to take it off the lock in position of OPEN or leave it in in the position of OPEN) . if you leave it in the lock position it will keep making sound. Please let me know if it worked and what position ? Regards. Nasser. :-)

If you didn't twist the back after removing the screw then you likely broke the little notch that holds the backing on tight. I did this to a few when changing the batteries. However, when I put the battery in and turned it on the battery stays in tightly. I just pressed the battery in then turned it on (because I like them to come on the same time everyday; I leave the switch at "on" all the time.) I guess you could try taping the backing on but I haven't needed to do that.

If anything, I have difficulty removing them. Once they snap/click into place, they're in there really tightly. Make sure you push them in well. When I first got mine I thought I had them in all the way, but didn't, and they fell out. You'll feel them click into place.

I have not. I have installed and used two of these and never had that problem. It is not auto retracting.
